Be Our Guest! as the Academy Award-winning film comes to life in this romantic and beloved production of the classic fairytale!
Step into the enchanted world of Broadway's modern classic, Disney's Beauty and the Beast! Based on the Award-winning animated feature, the stage version includes all of the wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice!

If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity.
